    Paris Hilton Just Snagged Mark Wahlberg’s Former L.A. Megamansion for $63 Million

    by

    Mark Wahlberg sold his overly extravagant mansion in the exclusive guard-gated Beverly Park enclave of Los Angeles back in early 2023 for $55 million in an all-cash deal. Turns out the buyers were the same married Chinese billionaires who, just a few months earlier, had dropped another $55 million on reality TV personalities Terry and Heather Dubrow’s equally opulent spread in Southern California’s ritzy Newport Coast neighborhood.

    Now, some two years later, the actor and producer’s former L.A. spread has traded hands once again, this time going to hotel heiress and socialite-turned-business mogul Paris Hilton and her venture capitalist husband Carter Reum for a cool $63.1 million. Per The Wall Street Journal, the listing was held by Ginger Glass and Alexandra Glass of Compass, with Hilton’s brother Barron N. Hilton and his wife Tessa Hilton of Hilton Hilton repping the buyers.

    A double-height library warmed by a fireplace is just one of the home’s many gathering spots.

    Custom-built over several years by Wahlberg and wife Rhea Durham amid a vacant six-acre parcel they purchased in 2009 for $8.25 million, the compound was completed in 2014. Hidden away behind gates and protected by an elaborate security system, the property includes a château-inspired main mansion and additional structures—for a combined total of 12 bedrooms and 20 baths in 30,500 square feet, all of it boasting glitzy amenities ranging from a movie theater and mirrored gym to a wine-and-cigar cellar paired with a smoking and tasting lounge.

    Inside the primary residence, a soaring limestone-clad foyer greets with a bridal staircase before flowing to three levels highlighted by formal living and dining rooms, along with a two-story paneled library. A family room connects to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with two islands, and there’s also a posh primary suite sporting a fireside sitting area, a private balcony, and dual closets and baths.

    A multi-use sports court overlooks the property’s five-hole golf course.

    Rounding it all out are the resort-inspired grounds, which are showcased by manicured gardens, a five-hole golf course with a driving range, a grotto-style pool with waterfalls and slides, a sports court, a skate park, and a detached guesthouse. The couple will also be required to pay HOA dues costing an eye-popping $6,427 per month.

    Hilton, who lost an oceanfront Malibu home she and Reum bought in 2021 for $8.4 million during the recent L.A. wildfires, still maintains a $5.9 million residence in the Mulholland Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills and a $3.8 million penthouse in New York City’s NoHo neighborhood.

      Kanye West Reportedly Drops $35 Million on a Saudi Billionaire’s Former Los Angeles Mansion

      by

      Now that he’s offloaded his gutted Tadao Ando-designed home in Malibu to a California house-flipping firm for $21 million—a staggering $36 million less than he forked over for the oceanfront digs around three years ago—Kanye West is spreading his real estate wings to Los Angeles. The music mogul-turned-Yeezy fashion designer has just added another property to his portfolio, this one a glitzy mansion in the exclusive gated community of Beverly Park North.

      Though the deal was done off market, TMZ is reporting that West has doled out $35 million for his new villa, which is roughly $10.5 million more than its previous owner paid for the home back in early 2022. Originally built for Perfect 10 magazine founder Norm Zada in 2000 and designed by celebrity architect Richard Landry, the contemporary structure was also owned at one time by the late Sheikh Saleh Abdullah Kamel, a prominent Saudi banker who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the Arab world’s wealthiest men.

      Hidden away behind gates on a parcel of land spanning nearly seven acres, the residence is fronted by two separate motor courts with room for dozens of vehicles. Though current MLS images aren’t available, and it’s not known whether the previous owner made any improvements during their tenure, on-line listings show the place has 11 bedrooms and a whopping 18 bathrooms in roughly 20,000 square feet accessed via a soaring foyer flaunting a dangling chandelier.

      In addition to generous-size living areas drenched with light, other notable features include a kitchen outfitted with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a breakfast nook, as well as a secluded primary retreat boasting a custom closet and a luxe bath equipped with a soaking tub and a window-lined spa. More amenities can be found outdoors, where the grassy grounds are spotlighted by not one but two pools and a sports court. There’s also a guesthouse and an entertainment pavilion connected to the main house by a steel-columned bridge, plus a hefty $3,300-per-month HOA fee.

      Per TMZ, Gigi Gharai of Coldwell Banker Real Estate represented the seller, with Jacob Greene of Douglas Elliman handling the deal for Kanye.

      West still maintains another L.A. property in Calabasas, where he operated his now-shuttered Donda Academy. More

      A Beverly Hills Mansion Custom-Built by Married Fashion Moguls Is Up for Grabs at $47 Million

      by

      Back in the late 1990s, Mel and Susan Geliebter purchased a roughly 3-acre property in the mountains above Beverly Hills for $7.5 million. They subsequently spent millions more building an unabashedly grand and decidedly bespoke Tuscan-style villa on the lot, which lies within the guard-gated Beverly Park enclave. Now, some 17 years after construction wrapped, the fashion industry moguls—who founded and then sold jeans manufacturer RSV Sport to Jones Apparel Group in 2002 for $310 million—are hoisting the custom-built estate on the market for the very first time, asking $47.5 million.

      Completed in 2006, and tucked away behind gates and a circular motorcourt embellished with a tiered fountain, the Robert Sinclair-designed residence has five bedrooms and 11 baths in 17,300 square feet of living space. Per The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, the home also is adorned throughout with ornate details hand-crafted by Italian and English artisans in an homage to the couple’s travels through Europe.

      The great room is spotlighted by a fireplace, built-in bar and French doors spilling out to the grounds.

      Double doors open into a soaring foyer topped by a sculpted walnut ceiling and displaying a striking curving staircase. From there, a spacious great room has a coffered ceiling, vintage French fireplace and built-in bar, and a 20-seat dining room adorned with hand-painted walls is flanked by a gourmet kitchen outfitted with an oversized eat-in island, top-tier appliances and an accompanying breakfast room.

      Yet other highlights include a wood-paneled office, movie theater and bar/lounge area, plus a sumptuous upstairs master retreat that comes complete with dual sitting rooms, walk-in closets and luxe baths. Three additional guest bedrooms and a library also can be found on the upper floor, while a subterranean level boasts a 3,000-bottle wine cellar, fireside dining room and kitchen.

      The pool house contains a full gym.

      Outdoors, the picturesque grounds are laced with palm trees and meandering pathways, and host several spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining with a fireplace, kitchen, two barbecues and a pizza oven, plus a sundeck-encased swimming pool resting alongside a gym-equipped pool house.

      Rounding it all out is an attached four-car garage, and eye-popping $6,216 monthly HOA dues just for the privilege of calling the exclusive community home.

      The listing is held by Linda May of Carolwood Estates and her colleague Alex Soriano, who is the Geliebters’ granddaughter.
